if you start grinding and green stuff or oilly ---- comes out of the spot your grinding it was important and you shouldnt have been grinding there 
but seriously, can you take a pic of the spot that is in question?

you can grind about anywhere on the front of the block about 2 mm however if youve never done it i wouldn't tell you to do it.
as they said try and post some pics and a detailed pic of where its hitting and rubbing at.
u "might"be able to actually grind the wastegate head down.

dam that sucks i had the same stupid problems with my t3. i grinded a bit of the block and rotated the inlet housing on the turbo. and for the wastgate i actually bent the plate that attaches to the housing. so instead of the wasgate sitting perpendicular to the block it sits at an angle.the angle in the pic is more than what i actually did but you get the point. i made a pic on paint but i cant host it anywhere. ill email it to you.
anybody want to host my funny looking pic?

LOL, don't grind on your blocks. All you have to do is cut and bolt the actuator a small piece of angle iron( I used a small piece of angle aluminum) then bolted the bracket and actuator to the ac bracket. You will have to weld an extension to the actuator rod.
I can email you a pic if you want.
